Life in Technicolor

This past weekend was not so great and great. Saturday was not fun, with Aly making two messes that I won't describe, ruining the whole day. Sunday was Mother's Day, with Matt and the girls being wonderful. Unfortunately due to another headache we weren't able to see my mother until the afternoon, but she really seemed to like her gift of blueberry bushes :).

Lorelei has really taken on crawling, moving longer stretches each day. She learned to sit herself up this past week, and we seem to always find her sitting up in her crib now. With Aly I was always excited about the next phase in development, but I've learned with Lorelei to just enjoy every part as it happens.

Here are some pictures of Aly from this weekend. She's a strange little girl, but we love her anyway. ;)

Aly put the teething ring around her ankles and penguined around the room. It was so funny, and then she did a Marilyn Monroe pose when Daddy got the camera out. Methinks I know what she and Grandad have been watching...

Braaaiinnnnnssssss

This has been the weekend that she wanted to layer things on. Saturday she put one of Lorelei's night shirts under her dress, put another of Lorelei's shirts on her head (I was so impressed, one arm was actually through the armhole), and one of Matt's shirts on top of the whole ensemble. Sunday, as the picture below shows, she took apart their mat and made an outfit out of the letters. Just when I think I know what she's going to be when she grows up, she surprises me again. Now she's going to be fashion designer, and we're all going to be wearing puzzle/mat pieces in the future.
